Default Transit thru Dubai in Emirates and AP
Hi,

I am planning to visit India next month. I will transit thru Dubai in Emirates Airlines from West Coast. My 485 is pending and have valid AP and EAD. I have expired H1B visa stamp in my passport.

Did anyone use AP in this route?. Will I have any issues with Emirates Airlines and during transit in Dubai using Advane Parole?.

Please someone help me.

Thanks
Ram

Emirates is one of the few airlines that doesn't insist on H1B stamp when you have a valid AP.

I travelled in March 2009 using AP in Emirates with no issues. It was a direct flight from NYC to Dubai and then, to India.

Ram,
Going to India, any route and any visa status is never a problem, as long as you have a valid Indian passport. You can travel to India from US without any valid US visa or without any AP. Question is when you come back. Only few countries allow you to transit thru, if you don't have valid visa (since some don't recognize AP).

This statement is not true. You will need transit visa for certain countries (especially the UK) if you don't have a valid visa stamped on your passport...it does not matter whether you are coming or going.

See the below link.
